Pedro Delgado




Pedro Delgado, better known as '''Perico''', is a Spanish cyclist, born on 1960-04-15 in Segovia . He was the winner of the Tour De France in 1988 , and the Vuelta A España in 1985 and 1989 .

He became an impetus for change in cycling's doping regulations after testing positive for Probenecid , a masking agent, during the 1988 Tour De France . Though other sports governing bodies, such as the IOC , recognized probenecid as a doping agent, the UCI , which oversaw cycling, did not, and thus Delgado was allowed to continue the in event without sanction.

He presently works as a sports commentator for Televisión Española during large cycling events.
